Osteological re-description of Macrocnemus fuyuanensis (Archosauromorpha, Tanystropheidae) from the Middle Triassic of China [PDF]
, 2020 Over the past decades, an increasing number of reptiles have been described from the Middle Triassic of southern parts of China. Marine reptiles such as thalattosaurs, ichthyosaursand sauropterygians dominated these paleofaunas and are known to have had a Tethys-wide distribution.

Cranial morphology of the tanystropheid Macrocnemus bassanii unveiled using synchrotron microtomography. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 The genus Macrocnemus is a member of the Tanystropheidae, a clade of non-archosauriform archosauromorphs well known for their very characteristic, elongated cervical vertebrae. Articulated specimens are known from the Middle Triassic of Alpine Europe and

The locomotor ecomorphology of Mesozoic marine reptiles
Palaeontology, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2023., 2023 Abstract The aftermath of the end‐Permian mass extinction provided ecological opportunities for many groups of reptiles, marking the beginning of reptile dominance of the Mesozoic oceans. Clades such as ichthyosaurs, thalattosuchians, sauropterygians, mosasaurs and turtles evolved a remarkable diversity of ecological niches and became important ...

Palaeontology, Volume 65, Issue 3, May/June 2022., 2022 Abstract Little is known about the large‐scale evolutionary patterns of skull size relative to body size, and the possible drivers behind these patterns, in Archosauromorpha. For example, the large skulls of erythrosuchids, a group of non‐archosaurian archosauromorphs from the Early and Middle Triassic, and of theropod dinosaurs are regarded as ...

Tanystropheus still conspicuous—an osteological redescription of the first tanystropheid [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica PolonicaArchosauromorphs were the dominant clade of terrestrial vertebrates during the Mesozoic. Extant birds and crocodilians represent only a small remnant of the diversity of this lineage preserved within the fossil record.

Sobreviventes: diversificação de Archosauromorpha após a Extinção Permo-Triássica [PDF]
, 2020 : The Archosauromorpha is defined as the clade that comprises all diapsids more closely related to the lineage of birds (Ornithodira or Avemetatarsalia) and crocodylians (Pseudosuchia or Crurotarsi) than to Lepidosauria. In addition to their ‘basal’ taxa
